Court to sentence Trump in document forgery case on Jan. 10

The verdict in the case of US President-elect Donald Trump on the forgery of financial documents of the Trump Organization company when paying money to actress Stormy Daniels will be handed down on January 10. The corresponding document was published on January 3 in the electronic database of the court of New York.

"The defendant must appear for sentencing on January 10, 2025", - stated in the text.

It is noted that Trump can appear before the court both in person and online. As indicated in the document, the decision to pass sentence before the inauguration of Trump on January 20 due to the fact that "after the oath of office, the defendant will gain presidential immunity."

Earlier, on December 16, the court in New York refused to cancel the guilty verdict against Trump in the case of communication with actress Stormy Daniels. At the same time, the President-elect's lawyers noted that the case should not be filed, while calling it lawless. They also called on the court to stop the proceedings immediately.

Prior to that, on December 4, Trump urged a New York court to dismiss his case about his relationship with actress Stormy Daniels, citing White House chief Joe Biden 's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden.

According to the prosecution's version, Trump became intimate with porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2006, and in 2016 his lawyer Michael Cohen paid $130 thousand in exchange for a nondisclosure agreement. After his election to the presidency, Trump reimbursed Cohen's financial spending by disguising the payments as legal fees. The checks totaled $420,000.

In May, a jury found Trump guilty in the case of forgery of financial documents. The President-elect himself said after the meeting that it was nothing more than falsification, behind which is the current head of state Joe Biden, who wants in this way to get rid of the main rival in the now past elections. Later, Trump called the jury's decision on the first case a scam and pointed out that now every American is at risk of criminal prosecution.
